Hello there so glad you found me! I am Claire, ABC Studios, Branding, Portrait & Wedding Photographer, still operating behind the scenes, accepting bookings, and talking to clients through facetime, skype, zoom. I can email you links to galleries of venues I have photographed at which might be quite helpful if you are looking for your perfect venue but can’t visit it.
I am a recommended and trusted wedding photographer for top luxury wedding venues, Ashridge House, Latimer House, Shendish Manor, Sopwell House, The Noke Mercure, Notley Tythe Barn, The Kings Arms, Putteridge bury, Moor Park, Boxmoor Lodge, Horwood House, and Aubrey Park Hotel.
However as a result of a lot of wedding postponements this year I have slightly fewer available date options for 2021. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with your potential date for next year and let me help you plan the best wedding ever and please note I am catering for smaller wedings with flexible price options.
I have set up http://www.thevirtualweddingco.com which includes monthly fairs via Instagram Stories @thevirtualweddingco and caters for small weddings and am the Editor of The Virtual Wedding Fair E-Magazine which is published after The Live Virtual Wedding Fair . Helping couples find their wedding suppliers.
ABC Studios is being refurbed and opening on 1st August. In line with government guidelines, the studio is being pared back, no props, no backdrops – it’s all about you and back to basics. I would also like to reassure you that all steps are being taken to ensure safety and I will be respecting social distancing during your shoot. That said, we still have white walls, white wood floors and of course fairy lights. I can’t wait to be back in action! See ABC Price List and options.
Engagement Shoots/Postponement shoot
If you would still like to either honour your original wedding date with an engagement shoot or arrange one with me now.
Branding
Eek what is it ? and how can it help? It’s a really fab and exciting way of finding your niche audience and letting them know who you are through a series of beautiful portraits which reflect you as a person and business person. Through photos we create your individual brand identity.
I know many people are setting up new businesses and are itching to get their personal brand off the ground and yes I totally support you!
It is possible to still do a branding shoot, and I am happy to chat with you to discuss your personal requirements.
In fact it is possibly one of best times to organise it as you are free and available to shoot!
Let’s talk about how to get you started, where your business is going, and who your market it. I’ll help develop a set of portraits to reflect your very best self in business and relaxed mode.
Contact me for more details claire@artbyclaire.com and let’s get the ball rolling and develop your brand new business identity so your audience can find you
Family Portraits
This might just be the perfect time to refresh your home gallery! Or celebrate someone’s special birthday/newborn/first birthday.
I am now offering outdoor family portraits for small family groups. Respecting social distancing at all times.
On 1st August, ABC Studios will reopen!!!
Thank you & stay safe.

Claire photographed our wedding 4 years ago and we loved the photos, we’ve had 2 mini shoots with our daughter too in the last year which are a very affordable way of getting some great family photos, the Ashridge shoot was great as I hadn’t considered outside photos. Claire has also photographed 2 other family weddings on our recommendation. Sarah Drake’s family shoot Ashridge
Beautiful pictures made me cry at the end highly recommend and we will be using again !! Xx Laura Taylor Newborn Shoot @ Studio 21
As a family photographer I specialise in Pregnancy, Newborns & Family Portraits. Newborn Photography is such a passion. I adore these shoots so let me know when your little one is on its way as best time to capture them is within the first two weeks. I work either in my studio & offer at home shoots with a variety of props, blankets and baskets. As well as family photographs (which are often taken outdoors in a rural setting if possible) I do bespoke Lifestyle Business Shoots which covers website head shots to a complete appraisal of your business and self image.
